Silmarillion Seminar 26 & 27!
We have two new episodes of the Silmarillion Seminar for you! Episode 26 covers Part 3 “Of Turin Turambar”, and episode 27 goes over equally cheery ground with “Of The Ruin of Doriath”. Don’t miss the fun! As always, you can subscribe to the Tolkien Professor feed on iTunes, or listen here.


Thanks – trying to read the Silmarillion all the way through – always enjoy and learn so much from the discussion!
After another torturous age of waiting, TWO in one week?! Ni ‘lassui!!!
As was mentioned in Seminar 27, the only monument remaining to the First Age, was the Stone of the Hapless. It would seem that this was not by the will of the Valar but by the will of Iluvator.
I found this comforting. If the children of Hurin is a story that encapsulates all of Arda’s misery and suffering, then the saving of the Stone of the Hapless tells me that Iluvator watches, He does not forget, and He will make right at the end of time.
When’s my next episode? Withdrawal already!
